Chandigarh, March 24:
Punjab State Dear 100 Monthly Lottery changed the life of a scrap dealer’s family overnight. Asha Rani, a housewife from Baghapurana, has won the 1st prize of Rs. one crore. The lucky winner on Wednesday submitted the ticket and required documents to the State Lotteries Department here for encashment of the prize.
Expressing happiness over winning the first prize, Asha said, “I had never thought in my wildest dreams that one day I will become a crorepati. It’s a dream come true for me and my family”. She said that her husband has a scrap shop at Baghapurana in Moga district and both her sons are also working in the shop.
Talking about the future planning, Asha Rani (61) said that first of all, they will build a new house with the prize money as the existing house is very congested for her big family and the remaining amount will be utilized for expansion of her family business.
